Roasted to Perfection: Turkey
Homestyle Turkey
1 (12 pound) whole turkey
6 tablespoons butter, divided
4 cups warm water
3 tablespoons chicken bouillon
2 tablespoons dried parsley
2 tablespoons dried minced onion
2 tablespoons seasoned salt
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Rinse and wash turkey. Discard the giblets,
or add to pan if desired.
Place turkey in the oval roaster . Separate the skin over the breast to make
little pockets. Put 3 tablespoons of the butter on both sides between the skin
and breast meat. This makes for very juicy breast meat.
In a medium bowl, combine the water with the bouillon. Sprinkle in the parsley
and minced onion. Pour over the top of the turkey. Sprinkle seasoning salt
over the turkey.
Cover with lid, and bake in the preheated oven 3 1/2 to 4 hours, until the
internal temperature of the turkey reaches 180°F (80°C). For the last 45
minutes or so, remove the lid so the turkey will brown nicely.
Roasted to Perfection: Pork
Makes 8 servings
6 pounds pork loin
1 large onion, sliced into thin rings
2 bay leaves
2 teaspoons salt
1/2 cup fresh lime juice
3/4 cup soy sauce
3/4 cup white sugar
1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
2 cloves garlic, minced
Directions:
Combine lime or lemon juice, soy sauce, sugar, ginger, garlic, salt, and bay
leaves. Stir until the sugar dissolves. Place the loin of pork in a roasting pan,
and scatter the onion rings over it. Pour marinade over the meat, and cover
with plastic wrap. Refrigerate for 12 hours or so, turning every once in a
while.
Preheat the oven to 325°F (165°C). Bake, basting frequently, for about 3 1/2
hours, or until the meat is thoroughly cooked.
